3 citizenship and identity You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to apply for assistance. Please do not let the fear about immigration status stop you from seeking benefits for your family. Receiving Medical Assistance will not stop you from gaining lawful permanent residence or U.S. citizenship. U.S. citizens who are applying for Medical Assistance Programs (except for MSP) must provide proof of citizenship and identity. Some U.S. citizens are exempt from providing proof of citizenship and identity. Some of these exemptions include newborns born to mothers receiving Medicaid or CHP+ at the time of birth, SSI & SSDI eligible clients, current Medicare recipients, and children in foster care. There are four documents that prove both citizenship and identity: A U.S. Passport, A Certificate of Naturalization, A Certificate of Citizenship, and An Indian Tribal Document If an applicant does not have one of these documents, they must provide: One document that proves U.S. citizenship, AND One document that proves identity. Some examples of proof of citizenship are a U.S. birth certificate, a U.S. National ID card (form I-197 or I-179), final adoption decree, or an official military record showing a U.S. place of birth. Some examples of proof of identity are a driver s license, a state ID card with a picture, a school ID with a picture, or verified school, nursery or childcare records for children under 16. If an applicant does not have any of these documents, there are many more options. For more information call customer service: Within Denver metro area: Outside Denver metro area: Copies of the original citizenship and identity documents (or certified originals) will be accepted only after originals have been viewed and verified by a site approved by the State of Colorado. You can take your original documents to be verified at your county department of human/social services office or to an Application Assistance Site. Notarized copies will not be accepted.

17 what I should know PLEASE KEEP THIS FOR YOUR INFORMATION By signing the Medical Assistance Application I understand the following: The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing is the state agency responsible for Medical Assistance Programs in Colorado. If I receive Medical Assistance, including Medicaid, I must tell my county department of human/social services within 10 days about income or any other changes. The information given is confidential. However, it can be used or shared by the program(s) that each of my family member(s) is enrolled in for purposes of treatment, payment, program operations, and other purposes permitted by law. I must tell the truth and answer all the questions on this application. If I do not tell the truth, I will lose my Medical Assistance, and I may have to pay the Department for the Medical Assistance received. My information will be checked with other federal and state agencies and that information received may affect my eligibility. It is a crime punished by fines and/or jail time to take benefits that I know my family is not eligible to receive. I must cooperate fully with state and federal staff if my case is reviewed. If there is an absent parent(s) from my home and I am applying for Medicaid, I must seek medical support from the absent parent(s). I may contact Child Support Enforcement for assistance. My information on this application may be reviewed and verified by my county department of human/social services, the Department, or its representatives. I am responsible for paying fees and copayments for myself and my family if they are required. If enrolled in Medicaid and other insurance is paying for medical care, Medicaid will pay last. I must give the needed proof and documents before qualifying for benefits. I will have to pay back any medical payments, including premium payments, which have been paid for by Medicaid if found ineligible during the time services were covered. If I think the CHP+ program made a mistake, I can ask for an appeal. CHP+ tells me about how to make an appeal in every letter that they send. The law says the Department must check the immigration status and citizenship for anyone who is applying for Medical Assistance. They will not check immigration status of family members who are not applying for Medical Assistance. The Department will review my application no matter what my race is, or my color, sex, age, disability, religion, national origin, or political beliefs. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. If you would like more information please contact our Client/ADA Liaison, George decurnou at (303) or via at George.deCurnou@state.co.us. I may request a Fair Hearing if I disagree with any action taken by Medical Assistance Programs, except for CHP+, when this application is processed. Information on how to ask for a Fair Hearing is printed on the back of all letters sent by Medical Assistance Programs (including Medicaid). The Medical Assistance Estate Recovery Program is as follows: (Excludes Medicare Savings Program) Under Federal law (Social Security Act, Title 19, Sec [42 U.S.C. 1396p]) and State law ( ,C.R.S.), the Medical Assistance Estate Recovery Program authorizes the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to recover all Medical Assistance benefits paid on behalf of Medicaid clients, including capitation payments, from the estates of deceased Medicaid clients who were permanently institutionalized or were over the age of 55 when benefits were provided. The Federal and State laws provide for certain exemptions to the Medical Assistance Estate Recovery Program. For further information or questions about the Medical Assistance Estate Recovery you should contact your county worker and request The Medical Assistance Estate Recovery Program brochure. I am allowing the agency to get records from financial institutions to show assets held for the person(s) named in this application. This includes banks, savings and loans, credit unions, insurance companies, and other financial institutions. COLORADO MEDICAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION what I should know
